“When you miss the person in those memories so much, when your heart feels like it’s sinking, yet you can’t share those old memories with them in person. I thought how wonderful it would be if you could see those memories just once as vivid videos, to fill their absence in reality with their presence in memories.”
I reflexively covered my open mouth with both hands. It was a truth I never wanted Jun to see. It wasn’t written to inform him.
It was written thinking others who cherished such bittersweet memories of first love might feel the same. It was a sentence I deliberately deleted from the program proposal.
Those sentences, my true feelings, were too close for Jun to access.
“Many people who empathize with the writer’s sincerity will surely cherish and love this program and the stories of the first storytellers,” Jeong Eun concluded.
Regardless of my tension, the surrounding opinions were generally sympathetic to both Jeong Eun and Jun’s views. Most people tried to neutralize their differences with neutral opinions focusing on different aspects of first love.
Despite Jeong Eun’s intentions to counter Jun’s opinion, he must have heard everything, but no word came from behind me.
Unable to face him directly, my heart raced as if I had just confessed and was awaiting a response.
During this, Director Kang suddenly laughed heartily and said, “That’s why we have terms like ‘first love’ and ‘last love.’ Most of the time, first and last loves are different. That’s why they are poignant and why they leave an aftertaste. Isn’t that the logic?”
Director Kang’s words, meant to lighten the mood, felt like they were specifically about Jun and me, leaving a bitter taste in my heart. Up until then, and continuously after, Jun remained silent.
What a long day it has been. Actually, last night was long too. It seems every moment entangled with you, Kim Jun, feels endlessly prolonged.
After work, I walked alone towards the subway station. Countless people moved in the same direction, striding past me. Lost in thought, my steps slowed under the weight of my reflections.
I walked forward with my head down, not needing to look around on this familiar route.
“You don’t seem to want to go home.”
Startled by the familiar voice next to me, I jerked my head around.
“Oh? Kim Jun.”
“Walking like this, when will you catch your ride and get home?”
“Ah, just…”
“Iharu, stop looking at me like that. I’m also on my way home.”
“On foot?”
I paused my steps towards the subway entrance and asked.
“No, I’m taking the subway. You seem to be doing the same, so let’s go together. It’s ridiculous to know each other and walk separately.”
“…….”
I moved in the direction of the subway, our silent walk accompanied by his consideration of matching my slow pace.
“You don’t have to slow down for me. Go ahead if you’re busy.”
“I’m not busy today. Let’s get inside. See how crowded it’s getting?”
I glanced over my shoulder and saw a growing crowd. Following Jun’s urging, we entered the subway station.
We boarded a crowded train. Pushed towards the door due to the peak hour rush, I was sandwiched in a position where Jun was shielding me from the crowd.
When our eyes met briefly, Jun quickly looked away towards the window. I felt embarrassed and remained silent, even as Jun suddenly asked.
“Is this how you commute every day?”
“Yeah, why? Is it too uncomfortable?”
“No, not that. It’s just… I feel a bit closer to a part of your life I didn’t know.”
“…….”
“Anyway, we won’t be seeing each other for long, so this much sentimentality is okay, right?”
His voice, adding what sounded like an excuse, resonated with me. I whispered weakly in agreement, “Yeah, that makes sense.”
